ESO - Lazy Tank dies, DARK SOUL RISES! - PVE Templar Tank Build

[@PonchoGbriel]

you made we want to pick up ESO again, i remember loving your vids when i played it years back, and seeing your vids again is great! Youre amazing Xynode!

[@fettman26]

Looks like fun. My wife and I both have Lazy Tanks with nothing to do. I think we'll pair this build with a HA build and go to town in IA.

[@ddrake7169]

Starting at 32:30 who else starts hearing Van Halen's "Jump"? Thanks for the awesome build!

[@xalor90]

I was looking for a build that would work for my WW tank when not in WW form, and this fits perfectly. Ironically, Tormentor/Rush of Agony is the exact setup I use for WW since Tormentor is the only way to taunt as WW. Love all the in depth explanations of how the various skills, passives, etc. work together.

[@cgi_Shad0w]

great job Xy my lazy tank has been put to the side waiting to see what you do with it now putting the build together need to get farming blackrose prison for the daggers.

[@theshenanigans3463]

AoE Taunt wasn't hurting anything. The "Play how you want" tagline needs an asterisk next to it now...

[@soundofsilence1199]

What about a gear set for the beginners ??? How we gonna get those items mann camon ffs !!!

[@Rando-nu5vn]

Can't wait to make this build

[@maniac_1x827]

Dark soul. from the game Dark souls

[@vuyanitause6534]

Starring John Darksouls

[@Kal_El_429]

You do realize that there are over 7k "Dark Soul" references in media before the game came out right? Tell us you have limited knowledge without actually saying it.

[@arturwolf]

Hi there, what non-trial gear can i use to replace Spectral Cloak daggers in the meanwhile? Awesome guide btw!

[@Hailix]

First of all, thanks for the video! Question: Is this a newbie friendly build, and can I go with this one while farming for gear and all other content? All other builds are going with ice staff, which really doesn't fit my style.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

Can any other weapon setup or 1 hand combo in place of BRP weapons? Or is it going to lower the stats of the build so much it makes the build not worth it?

[@gaminwiz9722]

what armor style are you wearing?

[@JSeeker316]

So I don’t see the extra on tormentor or agony ?? Tormentor is now 50% heal on first one hit and I don’t see anything about any healing etc… like the build though. I personally found this accidental taunt 5 years ago. Was using tormentor in dungeons on huge pulls was during quick due to aging everything. No proof however wasn’t active on KZbin back then. Live Templar tanking !! I use magma, leeching, overwhelming atm.

[@НикАнонимус]

Thank you!

[@lL1nX]

You can change Quick Clock with Solar Barrage but not increase defense

[@lL1nX]

but you can solve using Master Sword & Shield (Perfected Puncturing Remedy) in second bar (backup). Ultimate: Barrier (Rep/Rev)

[@shade_zinedusderallerechte5860]

Same for pvp gameplay?

[@leewilson852]

New player here and currently levelling my first templar. First half of the video is making sense and seems fairly straightforward. Second half is confusing me. How do these weapons or sets of gear work exactly? If i do a dungeon that gives me your helmet at level 16... wont that be useless by the time im 50? Would i use other stuff then do that dungeon at level 50 to get the highest damage variant? Or do you get it early and keep upgrading? Are these endgame weapons? Would i no longer need to chase anything once i have a "maxed out" version of these? (I dont mind this) Ive not seen an eso guide on youtube that doesnt cater to already experienced players

[@ベオベオ]

So. We need parry for IA next

[@xboxgamerz22]

Is good blazing get immobilizes now so no need to use a set for it.

[@DS-lk3tx]

Rejoice. Aeo taunt is coming back through spell crafting or whatever its called.

[@Chronic_Gainz]

No. It’s. Not. 😅 ZoS doesn’t want it in the game.

[@joegoodwin7905]

Don’t play tank if you don’t bring buff sets 👍

[@cjlsniper]

lol i’d rather have a tank that survives then one that gives me 1% more damage 💀

[@JSeeker316]

I agree Cj a living tank can taunt. Not chasing leader boards just want to have fun in end game content.

[@cjlsniper]

@@JSeeker316 alive tank > dps tank

[@joegoodwin7905]

@@JSeeker316 you clearly aren’t doing endgame content then 😭

@@cjlsniper the tanks you’ve played with are dogshit if they can’t live without selfish sets 😭

[@EgaoKage]

I am definitely going to try out the BRP DW back-bar. Post Tormentor nerf, I've been running a build that is basically the same as this, except with Vateshran tank weps on the back-bar, to alternate the pull-in CDs. And, while that does make for a blazing fast pack-to-pack dungeon build, I have found it to be a bit excessive. Meaning, I rarely find that I actually need access to a pull-in that's off-CD _that_ frequently. Because, if DPS is high enough to merit it, trash agro is kind of a non-issue anyway. Thanks for suggesting BRP DW back-bar. That looks really fun!

[@macewindu4442]

Thank you. All that grinding and following lazy tank was not in vein. Some minor changes and we're back in business.

[@jwk13050]

I followed this build just because I love the templar tank. I was using a site that calculates states based on the gear inputs, CP etc. Without minor resolve, I am falling short of the 33k resistances even when substituting bulwark for reaving blows. My character is argonian which contributes but figured with bulwark I could make up the difference. Not sure where I'm going wrong here.

[@H4xri]

Jumpy Go Boom Boom needs his own elder scrolls lore.

[@cookingkoalas1380]

I haven't tanked with my Templar yet. This looks so good and so perfectly explained I am willing to try it! 🐨

[@minipro2281]

Can this build solo, or should I change some skills and with what

[@7jers3y22]

Love these templar builds! Thank you!

[@PoldyStark]

would this still work with a 2hander in the backbar? Bearing in mind the lack of blade cloak

[@RimfireAddicted70]

Yea curious as well about 2hander backbar setup for solo running content and archive viability.

[@matsgandersson3624]

Hi! Nice build! Is this build for group only? Or can use it solo? If so will it do any damage?

[@alkohol9230]

Can we use that build in PVP? It seems very similar to PVP tank build of yours.

[@MrAlby888]

are you going also to update this build with some scribings skills?

[@usmcjr09]

How does scribing play into this build?

[@MrAlby888]

come back to life, tormentor!!

[@MorighanDensmith]

Yass! I'm excited to try this one!

[@Wallace90Gaming]

Whats your main?

[@Lazahro.]

Tormentor set works with Void Bash? (Vateshran Shield set)

[@matthewsanders1154]

Sure but only single target taunt no aoe taunt and void bash applies cc immunity so keep that in mind

[@Lazahro.]

@@matthewsanders1154Thanks!

[@DrewErickson-zz5uo]

I don't think he's right. Sets don't proc sets. So the pull from Vatershran shouldn't proc Tormentor.

[@Lazahro.]

@@DrewErickson-zz5uo I don't ha e Tormentor set, maybe I'll farm 5 piece quick and tried it

[@matthewsanders1154]

@Lazahro. tormentor isn't a proc it's a conditional based effect, you pull, leap, teleport, or whatever and tormentor will taunt the first enemy hit. However rush of agony is a pull, it's an aoe pull but tormentor will only taunt one of them when they are pulled

[@Ducky_Fuzz73]

Great vid, cheers :)

[@TheMCmace]

i'm a main tank in literally every other MMO but i will never tank in ESO without a real taunt etc

[@aeronmb]

There are indeed (single target) taunts for tanks in ESO. There was change to a gear set that had an AOE taunt.

[@BobbyTheZombieCroé]

With scripting we can make AoE taunts, if done right you can apply both breaches and a taunt rather than using pierce armour. I ran through vLC the other day with it for fun. Surprised these trifectas teams aren't doing it

[@BobbyTheZombieCroé]

Xynode, build request. Vet trial capable Nightblade! It's the only class tank I struggle with

[@Talidraxx]

Does the Tormentor armor buff stack over and over if you proc it on one target after another? It says they are taunted for 15 sec but doesn't mention a cooldown to the armor buff and since it's not a major or minor armor buff, in theory, it should stack

[@xynodegaming]

armour buff is a one time thing from the activation of the set regardless of amount of targets. It's a unique buff and has it's on visual symbol for it.

[@Talidraxx]

@@xynodegaming thanks for the clarification bro! I did not know that. BTW, love the videos so keep them coming 👍
